1.4 OPERATION
Do not open the cover when an explosive atmosphere may be present.Never leave the cover open,
in order to avoid any risk of water inlet.
Respect the actuator duty cycle indicated on the
identification plate. For example, for a 30% duty and
a 40s operating time, the minimum time between
two operations is 93 s. In case of over-heating, the
thermal protection will disrupt the motor power
supply in order to limit the actuator body tempe-
rature elevation.
Actuator equipped with the battery option.
When the battery is too low, the « battery low » message is displayed or is sent remotely accor-
ding to the actuator setting. For the explosionproof actuators you must replace the batteries by
the following models: 2 OMNICEL ER14505HD model batteries or 2 MICROBAT ER 14505 M model
batteries or 2 EVE ER 14505M model batteries.
Please read carrefully the message before opening the cover: “DO NOT OPEN WHEN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE MAY BE PRESENT”.
1.5 MAINTENANCE
Regularly check that the actuator explosion-proof
body has not been degraded by a mechanical shock
or any other type of agression. The cable glands
are explosion-proof components and, as such, must
be kept intact.
Check that the glands and the cables aspect is normal and also that there is no risk of water
entering into the actuator (avoid placing the cable glands upwards i.e).
Do not bring any modification of any kind to the actuator.
The actuator mechanical parts are lubricated and do not necessitate any specific maintenance.
In the event of a dismounting/remounting operation, make sure that all moving parts are correctly
lubricated in order to prevent any electric spark. The oil for lubrification must have an auto-ignition
temperature ≥200°C. Please consult Bernard Controls.
Although a thermal protection is built in the motor, it is important to check that there is no risk of
bearings jamming.
Bearings change frequency: 10000h of operation.
Any repair on the explosion proof or the increased safety device requires a prior manufacturer
agreement and generally necessitates to return it to the manufacturer workshop in order to secure
the explosion proof and increased safety protection integrity. Dimensions of explosion proof joints
are specifics. Consult BERNARD CONTROLS for information.
Paint coating repair
WARNING
In case actuator operates in group IIC and painting must to be repaired, make sure that
max. thickness of paint coating is 0,2 mm.
This limitation does not apply in case paint coating has a surface resistance inferior to
10
9
ohms for a relative humidity of 50±5 % or 10
11
ohms for a relative humidity of 30±5%.
Centerings and flanged faces of housing parts must not be painted.
INTELLI+ VERSION CAUTION
Never use the Intellisoft infrared
communication kit in an explosive area.
This module is not explosion-proof.
In explosive areas, set-up the actuator
only by using the local control buttons
or Explosionproof PDA
